Customer Question

I sat down in my...

I sat down in my 2002 C5 vett when I hurd a odd noise then the seat felt like it lowered down into the floor, I got out and now I can wiggle the seat up and down. It's definitely broken in the bottom back area, is it off the track or is there something broken, I may pull the whole chair out and check it but before I do so just want to know if this happened to anybody else?

Also my wipper stay on, I changed the wipper motor and cleanned the utters out but they still stay on??? No clue what more I can do, I had to take the chip out before they scratch the glass.

This condition does happen from time to time,the seat frame will need to be replaced for this repair.I can send info ,if you would like to attempt it yourself. Your wipers stay on because,most likely,there is an incorrect from the wiper switch.I can send info ror this repair also ,if you would like. If you have more questions about these problems ,please do not hesitate to ask.
